I didn't know Clawful was so unpopular. He's my fave aside from Beast Man and Mer-Man.

I don't think he can compete with the characters such as Beast Man, Mer Man etc... Poor Clawful. Makes me wonder though ~ if Clawful was released during the first wave in lieu of one of the other figures (i.e. Mer Man) in the vintage line, would he still be held in the same regard as now?

The Classics head being a like for like just like the vintage figure didn't sit well with some fans either. Personally i didn't mind it

He was one of my favorites as a kid, so I'm definitely biased.

A lot of people don't like the head because it's cartoony, but everyone seems to love the card back Mer-Man head, which is just as cartoony IMO:

I do think the red of the Classics Clawful head is a bit too bright. They could have toned it down and I think he'd look a bit more menacing. His skin could have been a bit darker as well. For some reason they reversed his tones and made his armor darker and his head and skin lighter.

It's strange for a crab man to have hairy eyebrows I guess, but we've also got a lizard man with eyebrows:

Of course Whiplash's eyebrows don't stand out as much due to the coloring around his eyes.
